What happened to mercedes Benzes old motto" Engineered like no other car in the world."?

Question

I dont think that they make their cars like they used to

Answer 1

They had several years, when the quality dropped, but it's back to usual good quality and engineering now.

Even those "quality reports" say so. I do not believe those reports much, but still...

Answer 2

What happened to that motto? They finally got smart and built cars that were reliable like everyone else. :-p



They used to be very VERY well-built cars. Then they decided their cars were over-engineered, and cut costs.



By the time the 1st generation M-class came out, Mercedes had ruined all of their reputation as far as reliability was concerned, and that M-class was the worst.



In the last couple of years, they've made the decision to get some of that reputation back by cutting their profits from $2billion to $1billion and putting that money into improving the quality of their cars.



I don't think they'll bring back the slogan anyways...companies get new ones all the time. Toyota doesn't use "I love what you do for me!" anymore either.



I think now they use "Only Mercedes-Benz" meaning that only their car will do when it comes to luxury cars.

Answer 3

The last year for the "built like a vault" was the 1990 W126 S class. The thinking after that was based on profit instead of the engineering...the way the "Big Three" have always built their automobiles.



Remember, the S class Mercedes was the model for the Lexus.

Answer 5

They used to have impeccable build quality and reliability, but 10 years ago or so the company decided their cars were too over-engineered and decided to cut costs and cut corners. They say the quality is coming back. No, not really.
